Creed for the Third Millennium - Hardcover
Tomorrow's America is a cold and ravaged place, a nation devastated by despair and enduring winter. In a small New England city, senior government official Dr. Judith Carriol finds the man she has been seeking: a deliverer of hope in a hopeless time who can revive the dreams of a shattered people; a magnetic, compassionate idealist whom Judith can mold, manipulate and carry to undreamed-of heights; a healer who must ultimately face damnation through the destructive power of love.

Book Description Condition: Gut. 346 p. ; Zustand: leichte Gebrauchsspuren, Einband/Schutzumschlag gering berieben, gutes Exemplar. TexT / Sprache: Englisch , The ambitious and Machiavellian Judith Carriol from the powerful new Department of the Environment soon learns that she can use the honesty and integrity of psychologist Joshua Christian to attain her own ends. Set in the United States in the not-too-distant future, Colleen McCullough's new novel traces the progress of a truly good man from obscurity to worldwide fame. Dr Joshua Christian's work as a clinical psychologist daily presents him with bitter tableaux of a people spiritually impoverished by too much change: political, climatic, ideological. Joshua's deep compassion and exiraordinary personal magnetism have created a devout following among his patients, but living and working in the relative backwater of a small provincial city, he yearns to reach out and help on a much larger scale. Enter Dr Judith Carriol, a brilliant senior official from the powerful new Department of the Environment. Ambitious, totally career-oriented, as elegant as she is Machiavellian, Judith recognizes in Joshua the personification of her desire to influence the history of her country. Joshua presents an irresistible prospect to one of her make-up, obsessed with power but preferring to wield it anonymously . 9836A ISBN 5551009637 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 680 Pp., 25 cm, gebundene Ausgabe mit Original-Umschlag, Seller Inventory # 36076
